Flip vs Fold: Why Not Both?
This week, Marques, Andrew, and David sit down to discuss everything from a new Huawei flip phone to the battle going on …

I don't know why I decided this was the week to just send all my hot takes
I personally don't get why people would be more interested in a clamshell style flip iPhone over a book-style fold.
The only benefit of a flip phone is better pocketability. Which comes at the cost of a more fragile phone, as folding phones of any kind need to use less durable glass and a hinge mechanism suseptible to dust ingress. Not to mention the one positive it has, better pocketability is also a negative as it introduces an extra step to actually using the phone. For people who want to use their phone less, I suppose that's a plus, but frankly I just see it getting on people's nerves more than benefiting them. People addicted to their phones aren't going to be stopped by an extra step to open them.
A book style foldable, while having all the same fragility issues endemic to all foldable devices, at least offers more utility than a regular phone. Combining a phone and a tablet into a single device has many benefits. Less stuff to carry, less expensive if you needed a data plan for both (and the cost of 2 separate devices). The only reason I believe book style folding phones haven't taken off is just price. They tend to be hundreds of dollars more expensive than already expensive candy bar style top premium phones.
The outer screen on Huawei doesn't have small screen problem, but square screen problem. Most phone apps are made for rectangle (portrait) display, so lot of apps will look weird. That's kinda problem on Razr, but you can turn that one on its side and have normal "phone" screen ratio if you need, but can't do that on square screen.
An alternative name for "Clown or Crown" could be "Dub or Flub". Flub was definitely used to mean "mistake" in this video.
1:05:38 I had this same problem
But it was a simple fix
You just need to uninstall android and install windows on your phone… Then you archive system settings and change your number to +270 which is south Africa and it will work
Every couple episodes yall say a take that makes my skin crawl and rethink my viewership
. The eu forcing Apple to open up is the best thing to happen to them in decades
How could that pilot board the plane in the first place?! Is that not a blatant security flaw?
31:42 ellis tested compressed vs lossless audio
31:47 just sayin'
Could you guys do a video comparing the Garmin phoenix 8 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2, when using an iPhone? What do you loose and win with each of them. Thanks!
1:01:30 other than localsend, there's snapdrop too.
19:38 it's a really wierd censore of some text
Bros really doing a "f*ck it, we ball" move on this episode
Correction!!!! iOS 7 (which included AirDrop) was announced in 2013, not 2011
Local Send getting a shoutout
The irony of completely shutting down moving to WhatsApp as a messaging service while consistently promoting and pushing the idea that the move from iMessage to Android isn’t as big of a deal as everyone makes it out to be is what’s keeping me going rn
Pura X for me seems to be first fold that looks beautiful for me.
Marques was glazing hard. He obviously loves Gemini
Interesting talking about the iPhone and accessories. I'm from the UK, and in the market for a new car. Looking at some of the costs of upgrades / accessories for some cars is eye watering. If you look at the phone and the car from the right angle then a lot of stuff the EU is imposing on Apple should possibly be imposed on car manufacturers. But would I want that? I'd like to save the money, not sure I'd want to risk the quality / safety or the lack of integration. Though I guess it's easier to change from a BMW to a Volvo as there's less of an ecosystem there.
@marques Have you tried uninstalled in the updates to the messaging app? Or uninstalling the app entirely? I had this issue for about a week and after I uninstalled the app and reinstalled, I was back in business.
Its the user that should make the conscious decision of whether they want an iPhone or not. Its not fair to Apple
I adore how Ellis of all people is the voice of reason.
I have been having the RCS issues with my Pixel 9 Pro Fold since day 1. I haven't found a fix yet, but it happens OFTEN, especially to iPhones. I haven't had an iPhone for 8 years, so it's not a switching issue.
Second cousin once removed means a child of one of your second cousins.
1:40:00 Call Of Duty World At War was from 2008, it was after 4:Modern Warfare. So 5th game
OMG MKBHD's hearing is trash from using junk like ATH-M50x as a "good" headphone.
It's objectively one of the worst headphones.
The reason you can't hear lossless is your Apple setup is stopping you from listening to it.
I'm also guessing everything you're listening to on your DAC is being controlled and compressed by the OS so you will never be listening to lossless without ASIO or WASAPI unless you're using Qobuz and you've setup your source chain.
No one is forced to buy any Apple product, people can make their own decisions
The EU P2P WiFi means they'll have to support Wi-Fi Aware and likely drop AWDL (which is the thing AirDrop uses)
How apple intelligence is NOT the clown here?????
Crown or Clown is so good I want it every week
I pray for the audio listers hearing the pura X description
I don't get why android users have so much to say about the apple eco system… don't get an iPhone, don't get a MacBook. But trying to android an apple device is crazy.
This Camera is for 1 group of people David. Rich ones.
Adam asked one of the classic it Support questions.
Here is another more involving one.
Have you reset your current phone?
In Germany we say „reboot tut gut“
(Reboot is good)
But sometime it’s just necessary to reset a device
The whole, "just leave the iphone" argument pissed me off. No, flipping the board is not the way to win. And I have tried local send. It is really dodgy when I send files from my iphone to my windows PC. But I have not had that issue with my android. Apple can still keep their source code for the tech that they develop and license it. Qualcomm does that too for the bluetooth tech they develop. They just want to justify a crappy practice.
Huawei is not trustworthy.
This happened again today. I know it's a different day from listening on a Samsung phone so it might be a Samsung glitch
Wild to see that marquess and the dude with the beard don’t think apple devices need to be opened up to let other devices work with them. This is a huge step forward imo, it’s not fair that apple just gets to limit features like airdrop and whatnot to the apple ecosystem.
So Google has spent years collecting usage and sensor data from you and then turn around and sell a feature to you.
Astra is going to blow people away when it goes mainstream on the free tier.
Regarding the RCS Issue
I have routinely hadd RCS issues whenever I purchased a phone from the carrier. Using carrier purchased phones have a different RCS implementation than unlocked devices. This used to be deonoted by references to T-mobile, AT&T or Google when scrolling to the bottom of the RCS settings pages but has since been removed. I have refrained from ever buying a carrier device because of the carrier configurations that don't appear to work as expected or have added monitoring software that may be difficult to remove.
Call of Duty World at War is not the 2nd call of duty, its the 5th.
